Chapter 27

In negotiations, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor is crucial. However, despite their awareness of this fundamental principle, the occupants of the room couldn't help but feel their anger stir at Izanami's provocative words. After all, having ruled Konoha for over 15 years, they possessed a deep-rooted sense of pride that was not easily shaken.

The first to react was Danzo, known for his arrogance and pride above all. His voice, laced with a palpable aura of killing intent, dripped with threat as he spoke. "Who are you to speak to us like that, brat?" he snarled. "Do you wish to make an enemy out of Konoha? Do you truly believe that simply because you're a representative of the World Bank, there will be no consequences for your insolence?"

Izanami's smirk widened into a menacing grin. "Oh, do you dare to suggest that Konoha has the audacity to attack me? Izanami Yosokuna, the direct kin of Nagisa Yosokuna, the CEO of the World Bank? I wonder where Konoha summons such reckless confidence," she taunted, her voice laced with a chilling edge that sent shivers down the spine.

At that moment, Danzo trembled involuntarily. The name Nagisa Yosokuna still brought terror to him, sending a chill down his spine. Back when he was first appointed as the Root Commander, he had entertained the idea of controlling Nagisa, believing it would provide him with significant financial backing. But oh, how wrong he had been.

Before he could even make a move towards his goal, his financial situation had crumbled. In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that he was on the brink of bankruptcy. Just as he was considering embezzling funds from the village, a warning letter arrived—bearing the unmistakable mark of Nagisa Yosokuna.

The letter contained only a few words: "This is the last warning I'm giving you. Try something like this again, and I will make sure you are penniless in the next moment."

This incident instilled in Danzo an instinctive fear of the World Bank. Subconsciously, he knew better than to cross them. If it weren't for hearing that name again, Danzo might have forgotten about the incident altogether, lost amidst the fog of old age.

Seeing Danzo's reaction, Hiruzen was honestly shocked. He had never seen his friend back down just from hearing someone's name. This realization left Hiruzen deeply concerned. If Danzo, known for his unwavering resolve, was reacting like this, then this incident might be far more disastrous than any war they had faced before.

"Hahaha, why don't we all calm down for now," Hiruzen interjected with his usual kind smile, though the underlying threat was unmistakable. If Izanami didn't back down, Konoha would have justifiable cause for war. After all, protecting one's honor was a valid reason for conflict.

However, Hiruzen's assumption was gravely mistaken. Izanami couldn't care less about starting a war. With the contract that once bound her now disappeared, she no longer felt constrained. Moreover, as Madara's teacher, she possessed formidable power, capable of taking on all four hidden villages without breaking a sweat.

"But before we descend into further argument, let's put an end to this," Tsunade interjected firmly, cutting Izanami off. "Bickering amongst ourselves won't accomplish anything. Let's just get this negotiation over with. I have other matters to attend to." Her tone brooked no further dissent as she directed the conversation back to its intended purpose.
